Turn It On - The Level 42 Fan Podcast Bob Considine, Mikey Payne, Winston Walker

Mikey, Winston and Bob take a deep dive into Level 42's acclaimed The Pursuit of Accidents album from 1982. The guys also discussed the top three songs they would love to hear on the next Level 42 tour!

Paul Waller and Simon Carson have been the driving forces behind the 10-CD versions of Level 42 “The Complete Polydor Years, the more recent 7-CD version of Level 42 “The Later Years” and the 2017 book: Level 42: The Worldwide Visual Discography. The long-time Level 42 fans join the podcast to discuss the unmatched levels of dedication in seeing these projects from start to finish.



 

Yolanda Charles has made her name in the Level 42 sphere by playing on solo albums and gigs with Phil Gould and Mike Lindup. But that just scratches the surface of her storied career. Her latest Yolanda Charles Project PH is a MUST-listen for any Level 42 fan and her current journey from session player to independent artist is an inspired one. And she plays the bass for us on this episode!

He's well-known for his jaw-dropping bass heroics, but what about those more subtle Mark King basslines that don't get the attention they should? Or how about those Mark King's vocal efforts that aren't always top of mind? In this episode, Bob, Mikey and Winston pick those unheralded Mark King performances that seem to slip under the radar!

 







In this episode, Winston, Mikey and Bob reflect upon Level 42's final RCA album - which was released 30 years ago this month.



They discuss the original release versus the Resurgence version, which was more in line with the band's vision of the album - a fan favorite for many.

A special honor for the podcast as Level 42 founder/keyboardist/vocalist Mike Lindup joins for an extended conversation on Changes 2, his recent live solo show, Level 42 history and a special Geek Out session where the boys get to ask the obscure questions they've always wanted to know. And no, the answers were not on a postcard.
